designated those items that require Government
approval, due to their complexity or criticality,
with a "G". Generally, other submittal items can be
reviewed by the Contractor's Quality Control
System. Only add a G to an item, if the
submittal is sufficiently important or complex in
context of the project.
For submittals requiring Government approval on Army
projects, a code of up to three characters within
the submittal tags may be used following the "G"
designation to indicate the approving authority.
Codes for Army projects using the Resident
Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for

[2.9.1 Integral Gasket
Black synthetic rubber gasket with tabs for factory fitting into factory
slotted frames, or extruded neoprene foam gasket made to fit into a
continuous groove formed in the frame, may be provided in lieu of head and
jamb seals specified in Section 08 71 00 DOOR HARDWARE. Insert gasket in
groove after frame is finish painted. Air leakage of weatherstripped doors
shall not exceed [2.19 by 10-5] [5.48 by 10-5] cubic meters per second of
air per square meter [0.5] [1.25] cubic feet per minute of air per square
foot of door area when tested in accordance with ASTM E283.
]2.10 HARDWARE PREPARATION
Provide minimum hardware reinforcing gages as specified in SDI/DOOR A250.6.
Drill and tap doors and frames to receive finish hardware. Prepare doors
and frames for hardware in accordance with the applicable requirements of
SDI/DOOR A250.8 and SDI/DOOR A250.6. For additional requirements refer to
ANSI/BHMA A156.115. Drill and tap for surface-applied hardware at the
project site. Build additional reinforcing for surface-applied hardware
into the door at the factory. Locate hardware in accordance with the
requirements of SDI/DOOR A250.8, as applicable. Punch door frames [, with
the exception of frames that will have weatherstripping [or] [lightproof]
[or] [soundproof] gasketing,] to receive a minimum of two rubber or vinyl
door silencers on lock side of single doors and one silencer for each leaf
at heads of double doors. Set lock strikes out to provide clearance for
silencers.
2.11 FINISHES
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Specify the type finish required for the type
of steel used for fabrication of doors and frames.
Specify hot-dip zinc-coated steel for metal doors
and frames in severely corrosive locations, e.g.,
exterior openings in marine or industrial
environments. Galvannealed steel is suitable for
interior doors and frames in most buildings. Unless
factory finish coating is required, specify finish
coating will be applied by field painting in Section
09 90 00 PAINTS AND COATINGS.
**************************************************************************
SECTION 08 11 13 Page 15
[2.11.1 Factory-Primed Finish
All surfaces of doors and frames shall be thoroughly cleaned, chemically
treated and factory primed with a rust inhibiting coating as specified in
SDI/DOOR A250.8. [, or paintable A25 galvannealed steel without primer.
Where coating is removed by welding, apply touchup of factory primer.]
][2.11.2 Hot-Dip Zinc-Coated and Factory-Primed Finish
Fabricate [exterior] [interior] [scheduled] doors and frames from hot
dipped zinc coated steel, alloyed type, that complies with ASTM A924/A924M
and ASTM A653/A653M. The coating weight shall meet or exceed the minimum
requirements for coatings having 0.4 ounces per square foot 122 grams per
square meter, total both sides, i.e., A40ZF120. Repair damaged zinc-coated
surfaces by the application of zinc dust paint. Thoroughly clean and
chemically treat to insure maximum paint adhesion. Factory prime as
specified in SDI/DOOR A250.8. [Provide for [exterior doors] [and]
[interior doors][door openings No. [_____]]].
]2.11.3 Electrolytic Zinc-Coated Anchors and Accessories
Provide electrolytically deposited zinc-coated steel in accordance with
ASTM A879/A879M, Commercial Quality, Coating Class A. Phosphate treat and
factory prime zinc-coated surfaces as specified in SDI/DOOR A250.8.
[2.11.4 Factory-Applied Enamel Finish
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Use this paragraph if field coatings as
specified in Section 09 90 00 PAINTS AND COATINGS
are not required or provided. One coat of
factory-applied enamel finish is readily available
in standard colors. Two coats and special colors
add to cost and to delivery time.
**************************************************************************
Coatings shall meet test procedures and acceptance criteria in accordance
with SDI/DOOR A250.3. After factory priming, apply [one coat] [two coats]
of [low-gloss] [medium-gloss] enamel to exposed surfaces. Separately bake
or oven dry each coat. Drying time and temperature requirements shall be
in accordance with the coating manufacturer's recommendations. Color(s) of
finish coat shall be [as indicated] [_____] and shall match approved color
sample(s).
]2.12 FABRICATION AND WORKMANSHIP
Finished doors and frames shall be strong and rigid, neat in appearance,
and free from defects, waves, scratches, cuts, dents, ridges, holes, warp,
and buckle. Molded members shall be clean cut, straight, and true, with
joints coped or mitered, well formed, and in true alignment. Dress exposed
welded and soldered joints smooth. Design door frame sections for use with
the wall construction indicated. Corner joints shall be well formed and in
true alignment. Conceal fastenings where practicable. [Frames for use in
solid plaster partitions shall be welded construction.] [On wraparound
frames for masonry partitions, provide a throat opening 3 mm 1/8 inch
larger than the actual masonry thickness.] [Design [other] frames in
exposed masonry walls or partitions to allow sufficient space between the
inside back of trim and masonry to receive caulking compound.]
SECTION 08 11 13 Page 16
2.12.1 Grouted Frames
For frames to be installed in exterior walls and to be filled with mortar
or grout, fill the stops with strips of rigid insulation to keep the grout
out of the stops and to facilitate installation of stop-applied head and
jamb seals.
2.13 PROVISIONS FOR GLAZING
Materials are specified in Section 08 81 00, GLAZING.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 INSTALLATION
3.1.1 Frames
Set frames in accordance with SDI/DOOR A250.11. Plumb, align, and brace
securely until permanent anchors are set. Anchor bottoms of frames with
expansion bolts or powder-actuated fasteners. Build in or secure wall
anchors to adjoining construction. [Where frames require ceiling struts or
overhead bracing, anchor frames to the struts or bracing.] [Backfill
frames with mortar. Coat inside of frames with corrosion-inhibiting
bituminous material. For frames in exterior walls, ensure that stops are
filled with rigid insulation before grout is placed.]
3.1.2 Doors
Hang doors in accordance with clearances specified in SDI/DOOR A250.8.
After erection and glazing, clean and adjust hardware.
3.1.3 Fire [and Smoke] Doors and Frames
Install fire doors and frames, including hardware, in accordance with

type used for shop coat.
3.3 CLEANING
Upon completion, clean exposed surfaces of doors and frames thoroughly.
Remove mastic smears and other unsightly marks.
